Without seeing it in person, I'd think there is a bike lane on the other side of the road. They want you to ride against traffic in the other bike lane. And against other bikes using the other lane. Not ideal, but if the bike lane is wide, then the wrong way bikes would be well away from oncoming cars. |

Not ideal, but if the bike lane is wide, then the wrong way bikes would be well away from oncoming cars. I saw similar bike lanes in Toronto Canada. THere was one on Queens Quay that had the westbound bicycle traffic separated from the eastbound motor traffic by a green line about 3" (7.5cm) wide. Idon't know who designs those facilities but they should be charged with reckless endangerment of bicyclists. Cheers |

Not ideal, but if the bike lane is wide, then the wrong way bikes would be well away from oncoming cars. The bike lane is about 18" wide, and filled with debris. The traffic lanes are 16'. It's a low volume road through an industrial park, there's no reason even sms would feel unsafe riding in the street. It's a sign put up by a moron, who is probably not qualified to be allowed out of the house. -- sig 7 |
